Gameweek 21 proved to be a tough week all-round, as even our high-flying Paddy Power Cup V Quarter-Finalists had a trying time of it. Only three of the eight fantasy managers squeezed out a green arrow, and even their gains were slender. However, the real prize on offer was a prestigious Semi-Final place…

1Sc8tt265354Funkyav
2Declan4461Raasclart
3CSKA AWFUL3754sleepingmaster
4soulman274749ChickenDevil

The highest-ranked manager in the round, Sc8tt26, was defeated by the narrowest of margins – a single point – at the hands of Funkyav. He takes over that particular mantle heading into the Semi-Finals, sitting 1,292nd overall.

Top-score this week went to Raasclart, thanks to a Nathan Dyer-inspired score of 61. Leaving the competition at his expense is Declan, who slumped to a 17-point loss. Equalling that margin of victory is sleepingmaster who advances to the money stage after beating CSKA Awful.

Completing the final four line-up is ChickenDevil, having edged past soulman27 to be the only Fantasy manager progressing with a red arrow this week.

The all-important fixtures will be announced soon, but for now please join me in congratulating Funkyav, Raasclart, sleepingmaster and ChickenDevil for reaching the Semi-Finals of the Paddy Power Cup V.

          My dad started out life as a York fan, then took me to see Man Utd, then decided he was a Chelsea fan when they won the title. Then he supported City as well as in his words "he'd always supported them". Now he supports only City, it's sickening really.

    I remember at the start of the season, Chelsea v Norwich (At Stamford Bridge), loads of people were saying “Torres captain, he is showing signs that he is returning back to his best!’. He got 2 points that game.

    6 months and 1 league goal later

    Norwich v Chelsea, loads of people are now saying “Torres captain, He is showing signs that he is returning back to his best’

    What will happen? I think we all know….

      or

      Vorm and Krul

      Vorm/Krul rotated well for the first half of the season, so logically they should rotate well for the second half? Newcastle's defence is looking good right now as well, no?

    I find it rather interesting to see the complete and utter confidence in Torres' failure this GW. It seems to me most aren't only predicting his failure, but actively hoping for it.
    Is it perhaps a wall of confidence being put up to hide sincere fear of him having a scorcher?

          I suppose that is very true, they haven't managed to keep a cleansheet so far this season.

          I'm still not really feeling that Torres is a goal-machine though, if he gets a single goal this weekend it'll be a good game for him.

        I agree with you in that there is a very good chance of him not doing much. But I've never before on this site seen so many members, be SO confident in a players failure. Most are stating it like he already got 2 points.
        I just think it's foolish to completely discount the chance of a player of Torres' ability exploding into action.
        Also, Norwich aren't bad - but they always let goals in, and someone at CFC is gonna have to score'em....

      confidence in torres disappointing again

      vs

      confidence he will suddenly choose this fixture to return to his old self, conveniently timed for fantasy managers looking to take a 1 or 2 two week punt.

      thats the other thing, everyone is saying they are taking a punt, as if they wouldnt even consider keeping him if he gives them the haul they were hoping for to begin with.

      id say my confidence has a little more historical merit.

            Haha I think you misread what I mean. We are in agreement that Torres will most likely fail. His upturn and form, and decent fixture in no way negate the fact that he has been a solid 2 at most all season.

            I'm taking issue with so many people stating as empirical fact that Torres will definitely fail. Normally okes would go: "Yeah it's a punt, could pay off etc".

            Not this time. Hence me wondering if you've had your heart broken by a certain blond haired matador before 😉

              gotcha. think i had him for a spell last year when he first came over to the blues. honeymoon didnt last long in my team. his ownership was so high at that point it didnt hurt too much.

              Lets equate selecting fantasy players to casino games for a minute. Both involve gambling right? Well certain games like blackjack or poker, you can learn enough to increase your odds of winning when you sit down to play. Never guarantees anything, but it gives you a better chance. Thats what studying form/fixtures/opportunity/etc is for your fantasy team.
              Selecting Torres to me is like your mate tapping you at the poker table and saying "Oi, Im going to go play roulette". Ok, you go play your completely random game of chance while I keep studying how to beat the house. The thing is, in any given sitting, the roulette guy could win a fortune and the poker guy busts out. But over a longer period, the poker guy walks away with more. I am a poker guy.

      Similar dilemna for me too. Probably Krul as SWN look a little leeky on their travels.

    Reposting with team linked:

    Hello All,

    have the following team (used WC for GW 21):
    Vorm
    Richards Evans Simpson
    Silva Bale Dempsey Sess Moses
    RVP Aguero

    McAuley Caulker YAK

    Team is a bit messed up because of YAK suspension and injury scares for McAuley, Richards.
    1) Is it crazy not to replace Yak and depend on RVP and Aguero till YAK is back?
    2) Originally wanted Shotton instead of McAuley for WC but was injured. Worth taking a hit to swap again for a 4pt hit?
    3) Any other comments for possible future transfers?

    Thanks!

        Yeah I heard the same and Stoke have a decent run of fixtures so was wondering if its worth taking the hit to bring him in (already did Rooney-Aguero). Could always wait 2 GWs for their next home fixture..

    defence is a mess for this week:

    Hibbert (bla) / Simpson FUL (A) / BAE MCI (A)

    with Evans and P.Jones benched.

    Only player I will potentially keep when I WC after GW23 is simpson.

    Want to start BAE, Evans and P.Jones in GW23.

    Hibbert -> Sunderland Def (OShea/Bardsley) look good?

        I am happy with Krul - and more importantly, I am happy with his fixtures. However, with a few exceptions, I shall always play Lindegaard. Lindegaard cost me 4.4, and I soold Vorm for 4.6. Vorm may well surprise me - but I dislike his fixtures, extremely.

          Problem for me is, in the weeks you really need Lindegaard to play, Murphy will make sure he doesn't. In my opinion Mignolet or Sorensen are better options, but I do see your logic in it.

      Not a bad option, may want to keep Surman on your bench for the next few games however

        The only thing stopping me doing it is Drenthe at home to Blackburn. To quote a FFS cliche "he's due a big score" (if Moyes plays him that is)

          You're tempted not to because you can get Aguero in two weeks and also you want to play Drenthe. Sounds like you're just desperate for a transfer. Hold off on it.

        I made a little bit off him, not much to write home about. The fact that he's done absolutely nothing for the last 4 gameweeks means I have no regrets about getting rid of him.

    Im thinking Lescott over Richards/Kompany!

    Nailed on until Kolo returns in GW26 and even then they may not have a game that week because I expect them to still reach CC Final so could easily be transferred out! As much a goal threat as Kompany just not shown it this year and Richards is a tad injury prone and could be rotated with Zabaleta!

      Bad K still shows up for 4.5 ppg which is above average for defenders this year. Lescott doesn't seem to be in the baps as much as Bad K.
